w/Rhy. Figs 1&1A

He seems alone and silent, waiting on his hands

and knees. Ths chill fo winter's darkness sits

quietly.

Moved by desire (pre-chorus) Riff B

and fear, he takes a few steps away

Lifting shadows off a dream once broken (Chorus) Riff C

She can turn a drop of water into an ocean

And she listens. Whoa, whoa. (Bridge) Riff D (6x)

Oh, and she listens openly

Riff D
